A few words of wisdom

Life is too short, try to not make it too complicated.........

Work as if it was your first day,

Forgive as soon as possible,

Love without boundaries,

Laugh without control, 

Never stop smiling.......

Even if you don't know the reason.

Yes, trust me, life can be lived this way too. Try it once and you'll know.

Phonetically speaking

A word that keeps bothering me or rather throwing me into an eternal state of complexity - ESCAPE!

Why.....? you ask? 

Well, here's the explanation.....brace yourselves, coz here it comes....

When I'm driving, or whatever the hell I'm doing, I have a rather weird habit of adding up the  numbers I see or forming words from the words that are in my visibility range. I do the math like it's nobody business and I play a game of word twist in my mind at the speed of lightning......haha alright, at your request no more bragging(aww.....such a spoiler!). 

Anyhoodle....now let's sum up both the points....Driving + weird habit: Do you get it now?

No? yeah well........didn't think so......you need to have brains like mine to interpret my words, which clearly is lacking in your ability. Hey Bhagwaan, here I go taking a detour again!

Okok, before you guys beat me up (hehe, which is highly impossible, coz you can't)......

Driving = looking at car make, model, number/name plate

Weird Habit = adding and twisting words.

So that led to a vehicle which was ahead of me in a single lane road and I had no choice but to follow it(ah, so much despair!). In the meanwhile, being in the weird habit that I have, I started exploring the vehicle and my sight fell on it's model. 
Do you get it atleast now? Huh..........God! Y O Y????

So, I keep driving and  kept thinking what in the world is that car. I know it's a FORD, but I cannot figure out the model....still pondering. Reached home, still pondering.......kept doing my chores, still pondering. Then I forgot. 

Again, next day, started pondering again (can anyone suggest any other word, for pondering? it's getting on my nerves now!) 

This went on for a day or 2 I don't quite remember. Ultimately, it hit me, just like how Newton was hit by the falling apple (*giggles*, yup me is comparing moi to Newton.......grêle newton!)(thanks to Google translator, I would've never known how to say Hail Newton! in French)

That word E-S-C-A-P-E meant ESCAPE and not ES-CAPE (read...ess-kah-pay)..........Whew *wiping forehead*

Man, that was like solving one of the mysteries of the universe!

Well, being the smart being that I am, the same thing happened to me again, but this time, it took me just a few minutes to realise my linguistic skills are not exactly that bad!

An Ode and a Salaam!

Over the weekend, we were in Disneyland(ok, I mean really!!). We were all so excited to be meeting up with Mickey Mouse and the rest of the gang, even my master was so eager all through he was like tickee bouse(o yes, that is how he addresses the most favorite mouse in the world!). So cute! So anyways, we were all geared up and all and mind you this was the first time me visiting Disneyland, so it was quite an experience for me and when I say that the rest of the theme parks are nowhere close to the experience at Disney, I mean it.......each and every word! It is like an entire city in itself, and the management and maintenance is just so unbelievable! Right from the parking lot attendants to the actual performers, I haven't seen a more disciplined and composed lot ever! And to top it off, the performers wowed me with their energy and zeal, patience and composure, and made a mental note to myself, learn Annie learn! In that heat, they delivered a show that was no less than a jam packed rock concert! And not even one aspect of it all went wrong(ok, I wasn't looking for any either). Annie is totally impressed!

A big round of applause to all the people working there and that includes the woman who collected our parking ticket to the men who directed us where to park and the one who reminded us where we were parked(Happy ,I think!) and to the balloon guy and the performers in the parade(Whew, don't you guys get exhausted ever?) and the numerous people who kept guiding people so that they can meet up with Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Pooh bear and Tigger, and the photographer who captures the moment when you do meet the characters, and the people who are dressed as them, and always being so enthusiastic about meeting every kind of person, coz afterall, the legendary characters reputation is dependent entirely on you. Also, to the security guards always trying to keep a check on everything around, the men and women behind the food stalls, and everyone else behind the incredible idea. Thank You for helping us make our happy memories and Thank You for keeping us safe and organized!

This is the bookshelf....

.....that I would like to add to my r & r room. This image is from the Roderick Vos collection and I fell in love with it, so very perfect for what I need.

My idea.....

....of a room where I can relax and chill out and be myself would be a room that is minimalist and opens to the outdoors through a perfect glass wall with a great view of the woods or maybe a lake. The greenery of the outside world, I would match with the black and white of the indoors. I don't want any color on the inside, coz I would love the outdoorsy colors to blend in with the indoors. The glass wall would be pristine clear and the rest of walls would be a light shade of gray. I would then accessorize with square black and white paintings and the seating will be black while the floor would be white. The lights I would keep a soft glow with lotsa candles and some white light bulbs in the roof. No heavy furniture, just simple and cozy and o yeah how can I forget my books, lots of books of all genres in a neatly stacked book shelf and then for the centerpiece, a huge glass vase with pretty light pink roses. That's it.....white, black, green and pink. My idea of a beautiful yet cozy room.

There now I have it weblogged, so I don't forget. Someday I hope to build this. Hubby, I hope you are reading this! (*Gleam*)
